Is This A Good Computer Build

Computer Build?

These are the parts I'm looking into for my new build. It's my first time and I'm wondering if anyone with a little more experience can give some input on my choices. Thx

CPu - E8400 WOLFDALE
GPU - 8800GT
PSU - COOLER MASTER EXTREME RP-550-PCAR 550W
CASE - COOLER MASTER CENTURION 5 CZC-TO5-UW
CPU COOLER - ROSEWILL RCX-Z775-EX
MOBO - GIGABYTE GA-EP35-DS3L
RAM - G.SKILL 2BG (2X1GB) DDR2 SDRAM 800 (PC2 6400)
HDD - SEAGATE BARRACUDA 7200.10 ST3500630AS 500GB

I am planning on doing some minor OC'n on the CPU, but not messing with the VCore. I already own a monitor and its highest res. is 1028x768 which I'm happy enough with. I am also putting in a Win-TV 150MCE and LG DVD-RW Drive.

Will this powersupply be sufficient and is this a good choice for a budget gaming computer?

List Of Parts To Build A Good Computer?

My budget is $300 to $450. I need a good setup and I heard you can get more bang for your buck if you build your own computer. The computer would be used for gaming and school in the future. I'm not looking for anything that can run more than like Counter Strike GO maybe DayZ PornHub(; WoW. Thanks!

My first time building a computer, is this good?

Great build man, you've chosen all the right components from all the right manufacturers, to give you a high quality, reliable build.

650W will power that system with no problems at all.

If there were any advice I could give that might improve it, I would say at the moment it looks a little CPU heavy for a gaming build. Consider downgrading your i7 to an i5 760 quad, and using the money saved to get a better performing video card.

There isn't anything wrong with what you've chosen, its just that most games rely more heavily on GPU performance, rather than CPU performance. Lets say you started with an i5 760, and the 6850, you'd notice a bigger improvement if you upgraded the graphics card to something like a 6870, than you would if you upgraded the CPU to an i7 870.

That assumes you're using this for gaming, if you plan to use your PC for more CPU intensive work, then stick with the i7.

What is a good computer build for $800? It will be used for gaming and should be upgradeable later.

If you are talking build your own their are already some great answers.For pre-built if you want a good holiday deal from a generic retailer here you go. It’s $50 over and $90 over, respectively. You get an SSD for boot and a few games. 8th gen i5 has 6 cores so no bottleneck there. Keyboard, mouse, and Windows 10 come with it. W10 you probably already have a previous version or can transfer what you have but if you don’t have it the USB retails for $140.https://www.bestbuy.com/site/ibu...I can’t vouch for quality of that brand. If the PSU looks suspect maybe swap that out.Amazon.com: CYBERPOWERPC Gamer Xtreme VR GXiVR8060A5 Gaming PC (Intel i5-8400 2.8GHz, 8GB DDR4, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB, 120GB SSD, 1TB HDD, WiFi & Win 10) Black: Computers & AccessoriesNot a fan of used but some sell their hardware for pennies on the dollar as soon as the next model comes out so there’s always value there if you are building. Still, you don’t know how they treated their components or what they did with them.

Personal Computers: How much money do you need to build a good gaming PC?

I recently talked about the cheapest PC I can build to run high-end games. In that answer, I presented a build that would hit the target of playing modern titles on High / Ultra at 1080p for a little over $500 USD (Build is here if you want it: AMD Athlon X4 860K, Asus Radeon R9 380, NZXT Source 210 Elite (Black) )When we're talking about a "good" gaming PC, that meets many people's definition of "good." It does what it's supposed to. (At the same time, I mentioned that better would be closer to $650, with this little guy: AMD Athlon X4 860K, Asus Radeon R9 380, Corsair SPEC-03 Red )Both of those, however, are what I would consider budget builds. They're pushing to be inexpensive and making some concessions. The realm of enthusiast builds tends to start around $1,000 USD. Between $1,000 and $2,000 we get things that meet most people's definition of really good Gaming PCs where we start to use high end CPUs, we may use custom water cooling (but are more likely to use AIOs) and things hum along at resolutions of 1440p to 4K.Above $2,000 you get Great gaming PCs. At that price point we're looking at multiple flagship GPUs, intended uses that involve 3x monitors and lots of custom cooling options. "Good" is a relative term. Some people, when they say "good" they really mean "Enthusiast Grade" in the middle tier. Some people just want to play recent games at 1080p and they're definition of "good" is a budget build. Some people... some people want things like what I discussed here: Jae Alexis Lee's answer to If money was not an issue, how would you build the ultimate gaming PC? It's all about what meets your definition of "good."
